I'm sure they just marked him that way so that people will think that NA characters sell just as well as other character.

But, seriously, I'm thrilled. Before MOTU Classics, I didn't even know about NA, now I think they are some of the most interesting designs in the Classics line and I cannot wait to see how they do more of them. I'm hoping we see Sagitar in a beast slot soon and maybe another standard size figure before the year is out.

I have nothing against NA or the character, but I passed on this one. I guess I'm alone in this based on the figure's praise, but I cannot abide the lack of head articulation. It's very important to me, as the subtle poses of the head are often what really makes the figures come alive in my display. In any pictures of him I've seen, he looks like an awkward half-statue who can only stare straight ahead.

I REALLY like MOTUC Slush Head, but I also agree with this. If they made him with head articulation it would have been awesome. It would have been even MORE awesome if they designed his dome like Zordon of Power Rangers, so it could come off (but also be filled with water). I would have LOVED to take pictures of Flipshot standing over Slushy laying down, head turned to the side with his dome on the ground and a little pool of water. PERFECT defeated picture, which is impossible to take/stage now.

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

Yeah. I do like the design, but as soon as I saw his head didn't turn, I got turned off completely. At this point the only way I could get convinced is if Matthew K does a mind-blowing photo review, or if I get crazy for NA characters later on.
I am glad to see him doing well, but there's really no excuse for the dome not being able to turn.

Also glad to see he's doing well. NA character designs (aside from He-man, which looks extra stupid IMO) are all entertaining to me and I can't wait to get Slushy. I also really want Flogg now, and Hydron.

Is anyone buying up extras, not filling them with water and then waiting for the eventual "water destroys the paint after a couple of months" quality issue, only to resell the good versions at highly inflated prices?
